powerpc/mm: Remove dcache flush from memory remove.
We added dcache flush on memory add/remove in commit fb5924fddf9e ("powerpc/mm: Flush cache on memory hot(un)plug") to handle crashes on GPU hotplug. Instead of adding dcache flush in generic memory add/remove routine which is used even for regular memory, we should handle these devices specific flush in the device driver code. memtrace did handle this in the driver and that was removed by commit 7fd6641de28f ("powerpc/powernv/memtrace: Let the arch hotunplug code flush cache"). This patch reverts that commit. The dcache flush in memory add was removed by commit ea458effa88e ("powerpc: Don't flush caches when adding memory") which I don't think is correct. The reason why we require dcache flush in memtrace is to make sure we don't have a dirty cache when we remap a pfn to cache inhibited. We should do that when the memtrace module removes the memory and make the pfn available for HTM traces to map it as cache inhibited. The other device mentioned in commit fb5924fddf9e ("powerpc/mm: Flush cache on memory hot(un)plug") is nvlink device with coherent memory. The support for that was removed in commit 7eb3cf761927 ("powerpc/powernv: remove unused NPU DMA code") and commit 25b2995a35b6 ("mm: remove MEMORY_DEVICE_PUBLIC support") Signed-off-by: Aneesh Kumar K.V <aneesh.kumar@linux.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman <mpe@ellerman.id.au> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20210203045812.234439-3-aneesh.kumar@linux.ibm.com
